4.2.2.1. Determining the Source Gas Flow Rate

102
This mode provides complete the user with more complete control of the gas mixture
process. Unlike the AUTO mode, MAN mode requires the user set the both the
component gas flow rate and diluent airflow rate. This allows the user control over the
mixing ratio and total calibration gas flow rate.
In addition, if the T700 calibrator is equipped with the optional O
be included in the calibration mixture (e.g. using the GPT or GPTPS features), the user
also needs to set the ozone generator mode and set point.
The TOTAL FLOW is defined by the user depending on system requirements.
• The minimum total flow should equal 150% of the flow requirements of all of the
instruments to which the T700 will be supplying calibration gas.
• Example: If the T700 is will be expected to supply calibration gas mixtures
simultaneously to a system in composed of three analyzers each requiring 2
LPM , the proper Total Flow output should be set at:
To determine the required flow rate of the component source gas use the following
formula
GAS
flow
WHERE:
C = target concentration of diluted gas
f
C = concentration of the source gas
i
GAS = source gas flow rate
flow
EXAMPLE:

A target concentration of 200 ppm of SO

The Concentration of the SO

The requirement of the system are 9.000 LPM

The required source gas flow rate would be:
